* Where the state standards fall on the NAEP scales for grades 4 and 8;
* How much progress the state made toward the NAEP equivalent of the state’s standards, from the earlier assessments to 2003;
* How much the racial/ethnic achievement gaps in each state have changed during this same period.

These two-volume reports also compare the NAEP findings with similar findings reported by each state on its own assessments. In each report, the first volume introduces the strengths and limitations of the study’s methodology and data sources, and the second volume contains detailed findings for each state, introduced by an explanation of the state profiles.
